"Tourists heading for Greece are urged to take enough cash with them to last their entire stay as Athens announced banks would be closed Monday in a deepening financial crisis."

Maybe I should just paint a big target on my back while I'm at it..

what level of work you getting done? prices reasonable? what about (wait for it)... timeframe?

We are creating in his words a torque monster.

Prices are reasonable by the sounds of it. Timeframe ETA is about a month once they get the car, so using the workshop project multiplier, probably ~3 months. Barry isn't building the engine, just assembling, but there may be other issues I need to address such as clutch, diffs, gearbox etc. which would hold things up.

Excited :)

Lol, never gets old

Simultaneously the strangest and most normal thing I've ever seen in my life. It was a rational and legitimate proposal; why can't they accept 50 x 20 cent pieces as a cover charge, is it not legal tender? But, you just don't do it.

cool. low-down torque or never-ending-spool torque? im sensing stroker kit and mild cams (but strokers so pricey).

whos building engine then? or is that trade secret?

Is it the 750 that is the original or was that a special edition size?

750 = not AU market

Am I the only one around here happy with beers?

no, I LOOOOOVE beer. it's just that it's not worth talking about like scotch

Torque everywhere torque

Real McCoy "Another Night" torque (I torque torque, I torque to you)

Engine already built; under wraps til it's done!

I got torque and my turbo is literally too small, so go get some 500KW low mounts

Also expect 1 year until its working

Unless you are just flat out buying an engine which is in stock which c'mon man does not ever seem to exist

We'll see - full story when it's put together :)

But yeah I may not be keeping my HKS GT-SS

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
